Jacob Matthews dreads seeing my name in the From field of a post.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am trying to get the PLT Scheme Science Collecting ready
to distribute using PLaneT and I am running into a few problems. &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>When this is in a collects directory (and the directory is
in the collections path), I can easily compile the collection (using
compile-collection-zos) and otherwise manipulate it using tools within PLT
scheme.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>In preparation to move to PLaneT, I have moved the code out
of a collects directory (that is, the directory is not in the collections
path). &nbsp;Now the questions.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>What is the best way to compile the collection (and
subcollections) the way compile-collection-zos does? &nbsp;Or, does PLaneT automatically
compile the collection for me?&nbsp; (I haven&#8217;t been able to get that far.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>In any case, I should be able to build the .plt file for
distribution with PLaneT. &nbsp;I used make-planet-archive to create a plt
file. &nbsp;This seems to work okay.&nbsp; (I assume that &#8216;planet --create-archive
&#8230;&#8217; would have done the same thing.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>When I try to install it using &#8216;planet --file science.plt
williams 2 0&#8217;, I get the following error:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Both seem to be referring to one of the subcollections (in
particular, special-functions).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>At first I suspected the compile-subcollections might be
handled differently for PLaneT (i.e. not a list of list of strings) so I
changed its value to (list &#8220;special-functions&#8221; &#8220;random-distributions&#8221;).
&nbsp;This also fails with:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Just out of curiosity, why is the order of the arguments to
the --file option different from the others with similar arguments (-- install,
--download, and &nbsp;--remove)?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
